THE friends of Mrs. Kinsey Creque
gave her nice birthday surprise so
cable on Thursday evening. Both
young and married couples partici-
pated in the pleasantries Of the even
ing, and made the commodious house
resound with laughter and mirth.

lent supper was announced, and the
manner in which the cake, ice-cream,
candy, oranges, nuts, etc, disappear
ed WAS a caution. A pleasanter gath
ering it would be difficult to imagine
and when the lateness of the hour
counseled the participants to return
home, they did so reluctantly, wish
ing the kind hostess many pleasant
returns of her birthday.
